Yen Yen Chinese Cuisine — Restaurant in Oʻahu

If there was an option for 0 stars, that would be my choice. Upon arrival no one wanted to talk to me until I kept standing at the register with a menu in my hand. My first warning should have been that it was empty. Second, no one wanted to serve me and didn’t want to speak english either. Third, the was no aroma in the restaurant. The food was inedible. I threw it away. The rice was undercooked and hard, no salt, nothing. I ordered the Squid with ginger and green onion. I got, see pictures, a pint of practically RAW green onions with three little pieces of “squid”. To be honest, I don’t think it was squid, I don’t know what it was, but shoe leather probably would have chewed easier. I spit it out. And gave the other piece a chance, nope! And why does this have X’s all over it? No tentacles, rings, bodies, nope. Just squares with X’s. Tasteless, no aroma, just bland rubber that is impossible to chew. $14, and I threw it in the garbage. This is the worst review I have ever experienced, but I mark my reviews with honesty. I will never eat there, oh wait I didn’t eat, again. Now, I have to go find something for...

I recently went there to order a wo gau gee min, asked him if it has carrots, mushrooms & peas in it he didn't say anything and just gave this disgusting look and started writing things down, so I asked him I wanted to know what was in the w.g.g.m., he looked at me with this attitude and said, you want me to tell u everything ! I replied and said are u having a bad day, he said yes! So I said we all have bad days but to here and get this type of attitude is not right, he gave me this smirky look..I so wanted to make a scene but I just told him he is not ever going to get any business from our family any more and left. Called yen yen and taked to the owner (which was the guy that took my order) I told him is that how u treat customers when u have a bad day he said, and I quote..yes and i can do whatever I want too.I don't bow down to anybody and I don't care if u are the president or whatever! I told him your way of doing business sucks! And your company won't last long. Windward side does not need this type...

It's true that people remember experiences more than any detail. This has been family-owned for years! (I don't know the exact history of this restaurant.) It was empty when we sat down. Lots of people ordered takeout during our dine-in. Anyway, very friendly service here. Hidden in the corner of this shopping center, close to Kailua Cinema.

We ordered steamed fish filet with ginger sauce, stuffed bittermelon, shrimp fried rice, orange chicken, and Chinese chicken salad. All dishes were awesome!! 😋 I especially loved the chicken salad. It's rare that I finish it all; the chicken was not dry! the dressing was perfect.

Got to talk to the owner a bit. She is very nice too. (Sorry, I forgot to ask your name!) But I definitely recommend this restaurant, and I will come back again! I want to try...
